Thanks for the suggestion. I use the new Barilla Plus rotini now, and cook it ala dente.

I looked online and several stores near me are said to carry this. (I haven't noticed it tho there).

I only have pasta once a week or so, but on vacation it would be nice to have more often because cooking up there is difficult.

I figured this summer would be a Beano summer! LOL

The dramatic effects from the Fenugreek have left. But I do feel better all around. Less stomach nausea (from the metformin and my gall bladder in general), and I am noticing some anti-inflammatory effects on my arthritis too. So I am still doing it. I wonder if mixing the tea with ginger ale is affecting it somehow? I'll do the tea straight today to see what happens. (I just can't stand it straight! ).
